EstIre: Burn

"This isn't funny!" Eduard exclaimed.

"I'm sorry," Patrick chuckled. "It's just… Usually, I'm the one in this position. It's nice to see it happen to someone else for a change."

The Estonian glared at him as the Irishman applied after-sun lotion to his back. He'd thought he could get a tan so that he could stop looking like the stereotypical pasty nerd. And he had the genius idea to do it without sunscreen. And he made sure to get both the front and back.

The result? An Estonian feeling very sorry for himself.

Patrick made his way to Eduard's face before pecking him on the nose.

"Just let your back absorb that a bit, and I'll get you some ice-cream," Patrick said. "Your throat must probably be burning now."

"I just want to sleep," Eduard said.

"Believe me, you'll want something cold and wet. And ice-cream will last longer than water."

Eduard's attention was fixed on the freckles on the ginger's cheeks before Patrick stood and left the room. He had a feeling Patrick knew what he was talking about. It would be better to trust him, right?

The prompt is: 'Person A ends up with a pretty bad sunburn from trying to get a tan and having to get Person B to help them out.'

I didn't want to have Ireland be burned because of the whole 'redheads get sunburnt easily' thing, but when I saw I had Ireland and Estonia listed, I figured I could go another route, with Ireland happy that he's not the one badly burned for once.
